Background and aims: Animal trypanosomosis is a major constraint to livestock producNvity in the tropics and has a significant impact on the life of millions of people. In Africa, South America and south east Asia, the disease is caused mainly by Trypanosoma congolense (A), T. evansi (B), T. vivax and T. brucei brucei. Workflow and results: We used 2D‐DIGE and staNsNcal differenNal analysis (Progenesis SameSpot ®) coupled to Nano HPLC ESI‐Q‐ TOF to propose for the first Nme a comparaNve approach of the secretomes of T. congolense and T. evansi clones exhibiNng marked differences in their virulence and pathogenicity profiles. A B
The extracellular posiNon of trypanosomes in the bloodstream of their host (C) requires consideraNon of both the parasite and its naturally excreted‐secreted factors (secretome) in the course of pathophysiological processes (anemia, cachexia, neurological disorders). We therefore developed and standardised a method to produce purified secretomes of African trypanosomes[1]. C
Surprisingly, the 2D‐DIGE‐MS/MS analyNcal filter highlighted few differenNally expressed molecules, some of which were moreover idenNfied as PutaFve
Uncharacterised Protein[2]. Nevertheless and interesNngly, bioinformaNcs allowed us to directly link several proteins to the clinical disorders observed in
trypanosome‐infected animals in the field. Cellular mechanisms: Conclusions and perspec8ves: This first comprehensive analysis shows how proteomics is powerful in the molecular idenNficaNon of differenNally expressed trypanosomes molecules correlated with either the virulence process or exhibiNng potenNal properNes to induce pathogenic dysregulaNon of physiological funcNons. Moreover, deciphering of the molecular dialogues and conflicts that govern host‐parasite interplay is promising to define new molecular targets for improved field diagnosis and new strategies of interference with the infecNous process to fight against animal trypanosomosis.
